[Prologue] Rise of the Gravewalker

The Shadow Isles. Once a land of prosperous nature and ancient wisdom, now a place of terror and horror. Men speak of torment and death that awaits the miserable souls who dare walking on these dead lands, yet could never imagine the true terror that the Shadow Isles prepares for.

*For some, the Shadow Isles is a place of unknown horrifying creatures, fog thickens before one could dare to gaze onto the haunted lands unharmed, yet... Mysteries exist even between the creatures that the Shadow Isles holds. *

On top of the greatest plateau on the Shadow Isles, there is a giant shadow tower, covered by the densest fog, that one could not even see his own hands right before his face. Men and Monster alike who enter the tower, were never seen again. Not even Elise, the Spider Queen, dares to enter the Tower.

The mystery behind the black Tower lies in the past - long time ago - when the Tower was only known as a place of challenge. Between the creatures of Shadow Isles, they hungered for more power and fought to conquer lands to reign over - like Mordekaiser, the Master of Metal, one of the fiercest Generals of Shadow Isles, is unbeaten, but graceful to the dead ones. However, the Tower appeared like the Shadow Isles was created - out of nothing and without warning.

The Tower consisted of 7 stages, each one of them guarded by immortal guardians who terrifies even the fiercest creatures. Many tried their hands and none escaped, except Thresh, the Chain Warden, who could not defeat the immortal Guardian. Thresh was no fighter, he knew the needs of torture and terror in order to strip of the flesh of the living, but when it came to the Guardians - they felt nothing, as if they never had a soul to feel anything. Thresh escaped when he tricked the Guardian, but he might be the luckiest of all.

*A unknown shadow Swordsman dared to enter the tower. His braveness was nothing compared to the one from his past life, but enough to challenge the shadow Tower and the Guardians. His name was Tocharian, the Lost Conqueror and although he was unknown to most of the Shadow Isles creatures - He was not unknown to Hecarim, the Shadow of War, who now haunts the land of the living. *

The Guardians of the Tower are fierce spectral Wolves who should not be underestimated, as they are the cause of terror within the dead hearts of the Shadow Creatures. When Tocharian defeated the first Guardian, the Guardian transformed into the shape of a blade - worthy for a Bladesman such as Tocharian. Tocharian defeated every other Guardian and claimed their souls as weapons, until he arrived at the last stage.

The last Guardian of the Tower was neither a spectral Wolf, nor anything that one could've imagined. The last boss was a three headed hound. One swift gaze into its eyes would be enough to terrify men for their lifetime, but Tocharian was undaunted. Tocharian came to seek for greater power, and in order to terrify the living world, one has to go beyond its limits. A fierce battle between the three-headed Hound and Tocharian emerged and the sound of battle on the top of the tower had reached even outside of the Shadow Isles. A battle so brutal and horrifying, that the residents of the Shadow Isles trembled in fear.

Eventually, the beast was done, but not perished. The three-headed Hound escaped and left the Tower, thus Tocharian claimed the Tower as his home. Now Tocharian claims every soul who enters his Tower for himself and feasts on it, to become stronger than anyone else.

This is the story of the mysterious Tower on Shadow Isles and the Rise of the Gravewalker - Tocharian.
